Different Types of Welding:

1. MIG Welding:

   • Description: MIG welding is considered one of the easier welding techniques for beginners.
   • Types:
     • Bare Wire MIG Welding: Used for thin metal welding.
     • Flux Core MIG Welding: Can be used outdoors and does not require gas supply or a flow meter.
   • Best for: DIY enthusiasts and hobby welders who want a cost-effective solution.

2. Stick Welding (Arc Welding):

   • Description: Known as traditional welding, stick welding uses a welding rod (stick electrode) to create the arc.
   • Best for: Those who want to use a cost-effective method to get started with welding at home, though it is a bit harder to master compared to MIG welding.

3. TIG Welding:

   • Description: TIG welding is a versatile and precise welding technique, but requires a high level of skill.
   • Best for: Welding a wide range of metals like steel, stainless steel, aluminum, nickel alloys, and more.
   • Applications: Used for tasks such as bike frames, lawnmowers, and door handles.

4. Plasma Arc Welding:

   • Description: A precision technique commonly used in aerospace applications, ideal for thin metals.
   • Best for: Applications requiring precision, such as engine blades or air seals.
   • Gas Mixture: Argon for plasma gas, with possible additions of hydrogen and helium.

5. Electron Beam and Laser Welding:

   • Description: Extremely precise welding techniques that use high energy.
   • Best for: High-precision applications, including medical devices and large aerospace parts.
   • Applications: Creating aesthetic and metallurgically sound welds for complex devices.
